    I visited Philly for the 1st time back in 2020 and stopped by Genos as a typical tourist would and it left much to be desired, Id even go as far as to say I've had better cheesesteaks at Jersey Mike's. I was in Philly this past weekend and went to Dalessandros and I can honestly say it was probably the best Ive had. The meat to bun ratio was insane and I like that the onions were cooked down but still firm. The hype was real

    Born and raised in Philly and it's good to see that someone finally did this video right.
    Those who recommended Pat's are probably tourists and that's the only cheese-steak they ever had or they're locals who live right around there and they haven't been around. The best thing about Pat's is: you can get an OK sandwich at 4am.
    I've eaten them all and could never decide which I liked better (John's or Dalessandro's). I like them both and it just comes down to where I am in or around the city.
    If you ever do a Hoagie Review don't miss Lou's in Norristown.

      This is why I am not a fan of traditional Philly Cheesesteaks.
      These places are chopping their meat up into very tiny pieces. I don't like that, it dries the meat out and it ends up tasting like little bits of cardboard. All the fat and flavor is cooked out. But I guess that's what Philly wants in a traditional cheesesteak. I never understood why these places want to small chop and dice the steak with their spatulas, basically destroying the beef and drying it out.
      I rather take some leftover steak that I cooked at home, grilled and seared outside. Thinly slice it, but a bit thicker than the typical cheesesteak type cooked beef. Then I will get my cast iron pan smoking hot and quickly reheat the steak with some oil/butter.
      The leftover steak still has some pink and has a nice sear and some grill/smoke flavor. But still tender, moist and flavorful, not tiny dry bits of cardboard.
      ...Also like to lightly toast my roll a bit.

    As an ex cheesesteak shop owner i can tell you the secret to a great cheesesteak “MADE TO ORDER FRESHNESS “ also don’t drop a ton of cold meat onto a hot grill because all that cold steak lowers the temperature of the grill and then the steak doesn’t sear it boils and loses all its flavor, so take it from a master,,,, order your steak fresh and not from “THE PILE”!!!!!

      But after only those two bites, they still run to the nearest restroom to purge!

And I was born and raised in Philadelphia (although like the great 20th century wit, WC Fields, once said: Philadelphia is a great city to be FROM - permanently! Just as one Italian American's opinion (mine), the original Philly Cheesesteak ONLY had real Italian cheese called provolone, which dates back to Italy in the late 1800's. "Cheez Whiz" was invented in a laboratory back in 1953 USA by Kraft Foods, and can't even put the name "cheese" in its name because it's what is laughingly labeled a "cheese product" with only a smidgen of some sort of cheese mixed into the other 97% of artificial ingredients. Being an orange-dyed liquid should be the first clue! "Whiz" only started to be added by that miserable "Pat's Steaks" back in the late 1960's, well after it had reached its momentary peak a couple decades before then. It should be illegal ANYWHERE in the USA to pawn off that dyed diarrhea as human food! This entire episode reminds me of American tourists who return from Paris and rave about the one and only American McDonald's there just because it serves wine!

    The first time I drove to Philly to get a cheesesteak, I did the tourist thing. Everyone here is right, Pat's and Geno's are both jokes. Came back and tried D'Alessandro's, Jim's, Sonny's, and Philip's (South Philly). I'm very surprised Philip's has been barely mentioned. Was VERY impressed. They slice their steak and don't chop it into ground beef. Keeps the flavor in. Philip's is my choice 👍

      most places were all open. til covid, then some went to wall up the restaurant and you have to order at the window or put in a ticket and wait outside. pats and genos you can see through the windows, it's part of the show but they don't usually like to bring in media to stand in the middle of the line. it's pretty small from what I recall, at least around the flat top

I do get Tony Luke’s when by the Walt Whitman bridge. They use good meat but you have to salt and pepper the steak yourself, they also put sharp provolone unless you ask for mild provolone. I don’t think sharp provolone tastes good on a cheesesteak. If you are in south west Philly Falones is really good. If you are south of the airport in essington Romano’s is good. Romano’s invented the Stromboli.

    The real deal of these four. 4 - Pats. 3 - John's Roast Pork. 2 - Jim's Steaks. 1 - Dalessandros
    John's and Jim's are actually pretty close IMO - you could flip the order and I wouldn't argue. They are very different cheesesteaka, so it kind of depends on your mood. Dalessandros is great, but please . . . no mayo. Pat's is not even in the top 10 . . . Pat's and Geno's are more hype than substance. If you do this again, you should include Sonny's, Tony Luke's, Steve's Prince of Steaks, and Campos.

  • @Ayoalfie
    @Ayoalfie 6 лет назад +41

    I agree, as a fellow Philadelphian cheesesteak places such as Jim's, Pat's and even Geno's are just locations where tourists rush to be apart of the notoriety. But, a true Philadelphian actually goes to places such as John's, Max's and Dallessandro's because their focus is on freshness, not the attention.

      In all my years living in Philly I never had nacho cheese sauce on a cheesesteak (although that sounds great!) Never, ever confuse Cheez Whiz with the golden delight that is known far and wide as Rico's, the original nacho cheese sauce. Cheez Whiz, as admitted by their manufacturer, contains no actual cheese. Rico's cheese sauce however, does. If your local ball park uses anything besides Rico's I understand your confusion. Here are the ingredients for Cheez Whiz vs Rico's: Cheez Whiz ( Whey, Milk, Canola Oil, Maltodextrin, Milk Protein Concentrate, Sodium Phosphate, Contains Less Than 2% Of Modified Food Starch, Salt, Lactic Acid, Whey Protein Concentrate, Mustard Flour, Worcestershire Sauce (Vinegar, Molasses, Corn Syrup, Water, Salt, Caramel Color, Garlic Powder, Sugar, Spices (Contains Celery), Tamarind, Natural Flavor), Sodium Alginate, Sorbic Acid As A Preservative, Color Added, Cheese Culture, Enzymes, Natural Flavor), Rico's cheese sauce (Cheese whey, water, modified corn starch, vegetable oil (contains one or more of canola oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil), cheddar cheese (pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, annatto), salt, contains less than 1% of monosodium glutamate, jalapeno peppers, sodium phosphate, distilled vinegar, sodium hexametaphosphate, anhydrous milkfat, sodium stearoyl lactylate, lactic acid, tomato paste, natural flavors, citric acid, nonfat dry milk, yellow 6, yellow 5, caramel color, annatto color, turmeric (color). Contains: milk)
